Article: Russian President Vladimir Putin said that at least 80 percent of the members of the first Soviet government were Jewish.
“I thought about something just now: The decision to nationalize this library was made by the first Soviet government, whose composition was 80-85 percent Jewish,” Putin said June 13 during a visit to Moscow’s Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center.
I'd add some fields in which Jews are not particularly highly represented:
- Military-Industrial Complex: Military officers (e.g., General MacArthur), engineers (Kelly Johnson), industrialists (then again, the first name I came up with was Simon Ramo of TRW, who was Jewish)
In 2020, I looked at the top 100 names on the 2019 Forbes 400 list of the richest people in America. I counted 31 as apparently having two Jewish parents and 4 as having one Jewish parent. I won't swear by the accuracy of that, but I probably worked 5 to 10 minutes on average on each of the 100 names and I'm pretty good at looking this kind of stuff up. A lot of of them only took 30 seconds to look up in Wikipedia's "Early Life," while others might have taken me 20 or 30 minutes of searching.
Here are the 35:
Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison (Italian father, but raised by his Jewish mother’s aunt and uncle), Larry Page (half), Sergey Brin, Michael Bloomberg, Steve Ballmer (half), Sheldon Adelson, Michael Dell, Jim Simons, Leonard Lauder, Len Blavatnik, Stephen Schwarzman, Carl Icahn, Donald Bren (half), Steve Cohen, Donald Newhouse, David Tepper, Dustin Moskovitz, Jan Koum, Stewart and Lynda Resnick, George Soros, Micky Arison, David Geffen, Leon Black, Ronald Perelman, Stephen Ross, David Shaw, George Kaiser, Robert Kraft, Steven Rales, Eli Broad, Israel Englander, Marc Benioff, Daniel Gilbert, and Bernard Marcus.
Neoconservatism being so Jewish was also a shock to me. I actually would have assumed Libertarians would be highest on this list, as it seems like the most relevant Libertarian thinkers were mostly Jews. Then again, I’m barely familiar with Neoconservative intellectuals. The only one I know of is Leo Strauss, and I think it’s understandable why you put him on the Radical Right instead of Neoconservatism.
I was already familiar with the Nov. Rev. stuff, but getting a stat for the Frankfurters is helpful too. These two things are very intertwined, obviously. But it does make you recognize that a lot of the “Nazi Propaganda” about Jews and Bolshevism was pretty much a correct interpretation of what had just happened a little over a decade prior. Yes, Jews were spearheading the Marxist/Socialist movement in Germany, yes Jews were spearheading Marxist intellectualisms and “degenerate art” through Frankfurt, yes the war was put to a close through a largely Jewish-led revolution. Albeit, Germany was militarily spent anyways, but the collapse of the Imperial German government probably did not help Germany on the negotiations table
The Russian Revolution gave Germany a lifeline, and was, for obvious reasons, funded and supported by Germany, so, if anything, Jews helped Germany in WW1 (not to mention that more Jews fought for Germany than any other army by a large margin). Nevertheless, in the Bolshevik revolution, all ethnic minority groups (except gypsies) were over-represented. Latvians were the most over-represented; Jews came 7th. Jews were much more over-represented among the Mensheviks, which is not surprising given the general Jewish reputation for being violence averse, or, if you will, pussies.
so they were never compiled into a dataset to produce those? just directly scraped for those visuals with perhaps the exception of at least one of the sources which goes to an Amazon book where it looks like tables where it is just a visual on the already aggregated stats?
Great work!
Don't know why you found neocon movement so surprising - it's basically Jewish-American nationalism, more or less.
Could look into Jewish overrepresentation in the internal security forces of the USSR before the Great Purge. Top 111 NKVD officials were 40% Jewish.

A fairly big difference between the Forbes 400 and the billionaires list.

Isn't Frankfurt Schools also socialist?

Have you posted the dataset you used to produce these visuals online and if so where could I find a copy? Thank you and enjoyed reading!
i either used sources that i cited in the article, or samples that i got from wikipedia pages
so they were never compiled into a dataset to produce those? just directly scraped for those visuals with perhaps the exception of at least one of the sources which goes to an Amazon book where it looks like tables where it is just a visual on the already aggregated stats?
similar to the ones provided on the following page: https://theuntangler.wordpress.com/2024/02/13/jewish-influence-meta/
Anything specifically in pro-immigration movements?
Curious about underrepresentation.
Seems like we could do without majority Jewish intellectual movements.
